From this protection
Of what's supposed to be
They don't have it going like
You and me

Boy, who loves your neighbor
They seem to miss the boat
Letting others drown
So they can stay afloat

But we have love so real
Just let them be
I wanna thank someone
For sendin' you to me

Bless your mother
Bless your father
But most of all

Bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
People will try to break it
Cause they don't
Wanna see us make it
We'll never let them take it
No, siree

Like a mighty river
A million miles long
Goodness knows
We love each other
Just that strong

If people had a love
To share like we do
They'd know of happiness
I'm finding here in you

Bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
People will try to break it
Cause they don't
Wanna see us make it
We'll never let them take it
No, siree

Oh, I've got you
And, baby, you've got me
I wanna thank someone
For letting us be

Bless your mother
(Bless your mother)
Bless your father
(Bless your father)
But most of all

Bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
We're gonna make it, boy
Heaven won't break it, boy
I wanna shout for joy
It's heavenly

Bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
We're gonna make it, boy
Heaven won't break it, boy
I wanna shout for joy
It's heavenly
